Burroughs Wellcome Co. of Research Triangle Park, N.C., said surveys showed that 85% of Sudafed customers would purchase the tablet form of the drug. The FBI is continuing an investigation into the apparent drug tamperings. Two people in Washington state died and a third became ill from taking cyanide-laced Sudafed 12 Hour Capsules.
